That's true, but it's old enough that you'll probably have it, and I think that's the only way that'll work with this Github feature, since it's U2F support they're adding.

Yes, it's easy, you don't need gpg-agent or anything, just do `ssh-add -K`: https://www.stavros.io/posts/u2f-fido2-with-ssh/

Is there something that does automatic transcoding? Though I can hardly give up the discovery aspect of Spotify these days...

Maybe he chooses to ignore non-paying users, which is fair. Hell, ignoring any kind of user is fair. Might not be a great business strategy, but it's his site.

Hm, maybe, bikeshedding is a killer in these things... I haven't even seen people attempt it, though. Maybe they all got scared away by us developers years ago?

I use Redshift and spent five minutes trying to figure out what the damn difference was. In the end, I had to disable it to notice that the indicators' colors weren't both purple!

I assume the companies then just passed the risk onto the consumer (or ate it to grow their user base), I find it hard to believe they just continued operating on the honor system.

Do you know why it tells me it "tried to access my data 28 times" but won't let me retry the extra question I failed or tell me which one it was? There are 29 in total, no? https://imgz.org/iCT476pV/

Well they all require active consent so then letting the timer run out would have to be a right answer on all of them.

Hm, yeah, that's a lot of context, thanks for the explanation! I imagine it would be hell to translate from Russian to something like English, because you lose all that effortless nuance and have to make it explicit in a way that sound

As far as I know, mp3 frames have a "volume" field, which is what mp3gain changes to losslessly change the volume of the entire track. Could you not take advantage of that too?

Why does any of this matter? The point of a blind ABX test (and the whole question) is to see whether you can tell the difference between two formats. If you can, you can. Personally, I stop being able to tell somewhere around 200 kbit MP3s

That's a useful command to know, thanks! However, shouldn't `nice` be handling that sort of stuff? Do you know why there are two commands for the same thing (as far as I can see)?

The big advantage is that you can reuse the Compose file for other computers. For example, in my model, Home Assistant would come with a Harbormaster-compatible Compose file, so to run it you'd only need to include the Home Assistant r
